Fluorinated surfactants, which fall under the class of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances
(PFAS), are amphiphilic molecules that comprise hydrophobic fluorocarbon chains and …

Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) is a persistent organic pollutant that is bioaccumulative
and toxic. While its use in most countries has been restricted to certain industrial …

Amphiphiles, either synthetic or natural, are structurally simple molecules with the
unprecedented capacity to self-assemble into complex, hierarchical geometries in …

Environmental context Perfluoroalkyl compounds are organic contaminants that exhibit
strong resistance to chemical-and microbial-degradation. As partitioning between solid and …

During fire-fighter training, equipment testing, and emergency responses with aqueous film-
forming foams (AFFFs), milligrams per liter concentrations of anionic, zwitterionic, and …

Adsorption of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) on clay minerals is pivotal in the fate and
transport of PFOS in the environment. Understanding the PFOS adsorption mechanisms …

Amorphous carbon materials find numerous applications in diverse areas ranging from
implantable biodevices to electronics and catalysis. The spontaneous grafting of …

The aim of this work is a better understanding of the microscopic behavior of organic matters
during the wastewater treatment of complex mixtures, especially during the membrane …

This paper describes the adsorption of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) molecules in a low
polar solvent on Ge substrate by using Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflection …

Surface active per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) find niche applications because of
